Hamdani

by Fabrice Pellegrin

Parfums de Marly Hamdani is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Hamdani opens with Frankincense and Myrrh, settles into a heart of Honey, Guaiac Wood, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Leather, Papyrus, Sandalwood, and Styrax. Parfums de Marly's Hamdani carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This isn't for the faint of heart or the crowd-pleasing masses. Hamdani is a provocative, divisive beast of a fragrance - you'll either adore its animalic complexity or recoil from its raw, unapologetic nature. Definitely try before you buy.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Formal

Its potent, challenging profile and prominent smoky, leathery accords make it unsuitable for office or casual wear. Best reserved for formal events or evening dates where its unique character can be appreciated without offending. This fragrance doesn't scream 'mass appeal', making it less versatile for everyday settings.

About

Hamdani opens with a potent, almost medicinal burst of frankincense and myrrh, quickly giving way to a rich, dark leather. A deep, smoky woodiness from guaiac wood and papyrus emerges, subtly sweetened by honey and spiced with clove, whilst a raw, animalic musk underpins the entire composition. It's a journey into ancient forests and well-worn materials, with a deep, balsamic amber holding it all together into the dry down.
